Chantilly's Tallow

Our Commitment To Our Families & This Earth

@Chantilly’s Tallow we only source raw materials directly from our own farm and one other like-minded family friend’s farm. It matters to us to live more aligned, have less impact and BE a part of the change we want to see for our children’s children. We both raise our cattle on 100% Grass-fed, chemical-free pastures, using only natural wormers and ethical and sustainable farming practices. We both process our cattle with gratitude and care. Our balms are hand-crafted using mineral-rich spring water and blended with only pure & organic ingredients, You Can Trust in sustainable packaging.

From Our Farm – To You

Every jar travels directly from animals we know and care for, through our hands, to yours. No middlemen, no compromises — just pure, honest skincare.

"We will never compromise on our values, ethics or the quality of our raw materials. If we are out of stock, know it's because we are waiting rather than compromising!"

Chantilly's Tallow was born from the desire to respect the life of our cows by utilising as many of its gifts and offerings as possible. We started making cooking tallow, then learned a family member was dealing with systemic Acne and Tallow balm might be beneficial for that. So, we made our first batch in Dec 2022, and shared it around the family as Christmas presents.

When everyone started asking for more, we kept making it, and sharing it with friends too, and when they asked for more, we thought we might be onto something!

After improving our production process, partnering with a family friend's farm for back up supply, Chantilly's opened a mini ‘tallow lab’ to offer them to the wider community.

Our Farm

This passion began in 2002 as a mother seeking a more connected, wholesome way to live. Through permaculture study and years of growing food for our family, raising cattle came as a natural next step — animals we could trust, on land we could heal.

On our 100 acre farm in Gippsland, Victoria, we have just begun to move our cattle through rotational grazing systems that give the soil time to regenerate, increase bio-diversity, and improve pasture quality. We can support more cattle of higher quality while offering above-ground and below-ground creatures the opportunity to thrive.

By farming this way and crafting tallow balms with pure ingredients, we feel aligned with the traditional healthy living practices of our forefathers — birthing a piece of the past into the now, for future generations.

This part never gets old. Watching it come together, filling the jars/tins with soft, fragrant goodness, and hearing your stories of how much you love it. That's why we keep making it!

Fresh From The Source

We start with the freshest leaf fat/suet — the fat that directly surrounds the liver and kidney organs — delivered the same day it's harvested.

Render With Care

The fat is chopped, grated, or minced, then slowly rendered using pure spring water that we hand-collect from a nearby natural spring.

Filtered To Perfection

The liquid tallow is poured through a double-layered cheesecloth to remove any remaining impurities.

Settling Stage

Once set, the oil and water separate. We drain off the water and gently scrape away any remaining sediment from the surface.

We Repeat — Four Times

We repeat the rendering, filtering, and settling process four times in total to achieve an ultra-clean, creamy, odourless tallow of the highest purity.

Blended With Goodness

The final tallow is reheated gently, then blended with nourishing oils like organic extra virgin olive oil or cold-pressed almond oil, and infused with organic essential oils.

Let It Rest

We allow the blend to reset… tic toc tic toc.

Whipped To Perfection

Finally, we whip it into a silky, luxurious cream that looks and smells good enough to eat — especially the vanilla-scented one!
